Decision details

Approval and authorisation to enter into a contract with Calverton Parish Council for the provision of grounds maintenance services for 2019/20.

Reference: D787

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Natural Habitat

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To request approval to enter into a contract to provide grounds maintenance services to an existing client, Calverton Parish Council, for a period of one year.

Decision:

Approval is given to enter into a contract with Calverton Parish Council to provide grounds maintenance services from 1st April 2019

Reasons for the decision:

This contract will bring income into the PASC department which will fund PASC operative posts, thereby providing local jobs for local people.
It will also serve to ensure that Calverton Village is well maintained, attracting others to the area and thereby increasing footfall for local business.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative option would be to not authorise the provision of this service and not enter into the agreement for 2019/20. This would result in a loss of income for PASC services which could then result in the need to restructure PASC Services. 1.5 PASC operative posts are currently utilised in the provision of this ground maintenance service. If the service ceased those posts would be under threat.
